Ravens 48, Buccaneers 17
October 12th, 2014
This one’s on you, Lovie Smith.
You emphatically told media last week that your current Buccaneers are a better team than the last time they were in town for a home game back in September.
You were so wrong.
Lovie’s beloved Bucs didn’t show up today. Spin today’s game however you wish, Tampa Bay is not responding to its head coach.
It’s a problem.
No, Joe’s not putting Lovie on the proverbial hot seat, but the Bucs are in trouble. Joe’s seen quit in teams before, and the Bucs sure had that feel about them today.
How does this happen at home? How??
The failures are in all phases of the game. There were even two drops (Mike Evans followed by Vincent Jackson) on the Bucs’ final drive.
Sad, sad times.
Stick with Joe all through the day for much more on todays’ epic debacle.

Glennon’s TB career stats… 3280 yds 24 tds and 11 ints
Mike Glennon is NOT the problem.
But the defense does stink. ………………..
October 12th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
It’s the worst this team has looked in probably 20 years at least. It’s comical how much worse this team got just by switching coaches and changing a few players. Banking that Pittsburgh win was key cause 2-14 might be the ceiling on the season.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:04 pm
Sure did look like they quit. They didn’t show any fire until Steve Smith broke their spork in their face.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:04 pm
He threw for 314 yds today with 2 TDs and 1 int.
The defense stinks.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Quit is an accurate description.. He should be on the hot seat.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
This team is garbage absolute trash. I think its time they think about pulling the plug on the lovie smith experiment. And all along we thought Greg Schiano was the problem. SMDH
October 12th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
Lovie Smith is overrated and his system is antiquated. Unfortunately, we are stuck with his poor coaching for another 3-4 yrs. I want him out now!
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
What would our record be today had we Kept Schiano? How many blowouts did HE have as the commander?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
Fire Lovie and Leslie!!!
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
It was all Glennon’s fault. Had we had a better QB out there, the O-line would’ve blocked better, the receivers would have gotten open more and caught better, the RB’s would’ve gotten more yards, and the defense would’ve given up fewer points.
Yup, this is all on that Napoleon Dynamite, giraffe-looking QB of ours.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
Doesnt matter if YOU put in the hot seat or not Joe. He’s already in it
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
I was close 46-10
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
MG8 is awesome once the game enters garbage time in the 2nd qtr.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
Mike Glennon doesn’t need to be Peyton Manning or Drew Brees. He’s good enough. No matter who our QB is, we’re not going to win many games if our defense is giving up 40 points a game.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
“Glennon’s TB career stats… 3280 yds 24 tds and 11 ints
Mike Glennon is NOT the problem.
But the defense does stink. ………………..”
the stats are whack and you know it. getting tons of yards and completions in scrub time does not equate to a good qb….doh.
glennon is not a real, starting qb! he is a pinocchio qb who looks like a real qb from afar. and some fools buy the mirage.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:08 pm
LOL, Glennon was rag dolled all day, but he has to learn to get rid of the ball under duress. Still hasn’t learned that.
Why did he take a sack running out of bounds again? Those type of plays will lose games in the future.
Glennon is not the real problem here, but he isn’t the absolute future yet either. Better invest some real money in the oline if he stays for a real run to the playoffs.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:08 pm
DISASTER!
At least we won’t loose next week…
October 12th, 2014 at 4:09 pm
Again a good head coach doesn’t sit out a season. Lovie and his coaching staff suck.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:09 pm
Can’t believe ppl are acting like Glennon was good whole team stunk. Just because he threw some yards in garbage time doesn’t mean he had a good game.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
the whole team was pisspoor again: defense, offensive line, special teams, AND qb!
where is the coaching and accountability?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
Tampa Bay fans always think that we’ll magically find our QB in the first round of the draft.
Get over it; it’ll never happen.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
LOVIE’S A JOKE!
October 12th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
Mike Glennon isn’t the problem. The offensive line, and terrible defensive, and offensive coordinator are holding this team back.
Love needs to save face admit he was wrong, and fire Frazier, and Arroyo.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
This is pathetic. Raider-like futility, and no hope going forward. Something needs to change around here.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
I think it’s time to make some changes……starting with ownership. Apparently the Glazers are incapable of learning from past mistakes, namely hiring a head coach and giving him way too much power. What they need to do is hire a proven GM and let him pick the coach. If I was the owner, I’d back a Brinx truck up to Bill Polian’s house and give him one directive: do whatever it takes to build a dynasty. Then I’d sit back and watch.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
Time to pull the plug. Lovie hasnt learned squat on that year off. He’s stuck in the old times. He should never be a HC again in this league
October 12th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
The players and the coaches should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. It is their fault that there were more raven’s fans then bucs fan today. Bucs fans are tired of shelling out their hard earned money just to watch crap. But I’m sure the players and the coaches will be quick to cash that weekly game check though and this go is horrible. Where are the big free agent they signed.
This team plainly sucks.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:12 pm
Why can’t Lovie admit he is wrong, No he’s going g to keep making excuses, even though Arroyo is incompetent and the Tampa 2 doesn’t work anymore
October 12th, 2014 at 4:12 pm
another game where Glennon was nowhere to be found in the first half. The Mob sure liked getting on McCown for not coming out for the first 3 quarters yet I’m sure the excuses will be flowing tonight.
Also, it is funny that when Atlanta was drubbing the Bucs in the first half a few weeks ago, Joe was questioning McCown’s leadership. Well what about today’s drubbing?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:12 pm
“Tampa Bay fans always think that we’ll magically find our QB in the first round of the draft.
Get over it; it’ll never happen.”
yeah, so lets not improve at the position and get a real qb…smh
and why will it never happen? other teams have done it.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:13 pm
Time to hire an offensive minded coach. Ive been sayin darrell bevell since last year. We need ti clean house.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:13 pm
I don’t want to hear anymore from Mr Brooks and his it takes time crap. People are wide open week after week. No pressure week after week. It is time to put it on your good friend where it belongs. No more excuses.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:13 pm
I’M LOST FOR WORDS ABOUT THIS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM…….
October 12th, 2014 at 4:14 pm
2 blow outs in the first half of the seaaon is jus ridiculous.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:15 pm
The Bucs were flat as a puddle, I have to call it on Lovie not having the team ready in any capacity. They were’nt going to beat anybody with this effort. This team is going backwards and I don’t see them turning it around anytime soon. A pathetic miserable day for Bucs fans.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:16 pm
Lovie is a joke. Gleenon is a career backup and that O-Line could not block pop Warner players.
make all the excuses you people want about 8 but the only stat that matters is wins and he does not win regardless of the circumstances. the team is garbage. lovie must go back to the basement. OUT OF TOUCH!
If I was GMC I’d run to a team with a commitment to win. he deserves to win.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:16 pm
Hilarious that our defense gives up 28 points in the 1st quarter, and people are worried about Glennon.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:16 pm
You’re right, lurker, Marcus Mariota is only missing piece to this SB-caliber team.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
Didn’t see Glennon giving up. Just sayin.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:20 pm
almost as hilarious as the offense having about 100 yards of offense in the first half and people are only worried about the defense.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
@ryan
It’s a team game. And this team sucks.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:22 pm
mariota sucks!
so how long do we wait to get a real qb? it is a qb-driven league and we are stuck in neutral. we have thrown tons of money and trades and draft picks at every other position except qb!
October 12th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
I thought Lovie learned from past mistakes. Y do we wait late n the game to run the no huddle offense. Our defense just don’t have what it takes to stop the average offense. No sacks n pressure result to long runs, easy passes, n five tds. VJ continue to drop passes n MEvans seems to give up on certain plays. DMartin is not the key at rb. Let’s b honest we have no pass rush n no running game n our corners suck. Bad coaching has contributed to each of our loss.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:27 pm
@lurker
Yeah, I know. This class sucks. Almost makes me wish we had drafted Johnny. But I don’t think I would have been able to take Joe’s Mancrushing any longer. But Glennon > Mariota.
October 12th, 2014 at 4:28 pm
Bucs Fan #237
No no it’s the defenses fault we score 17 points in garbage time. The defense is garbage but seriously who didn’t know that by week two come on. OK defense gave up 28 points in the first half everyone knows that but I didn’t watch one single snap, tell me why Glennon only threw for 62 yards in the first half?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
“Yeah, I know. This class sucks.”
and yet most posters here said this year’s draft is where the qb’s are at…lol
i saw mariotta sucking last year. watched hundley sucking this year. unsure of winston. who else is coming out?
i know qb alone won’t fix this team, not the way lovie keeps making personnel decisions. hell, where is the coaching?
October 12th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
it is funny/sad how we are arguing/in-fighting about which part of this craptastic team is worse…smdh the bucs brought us to this level!
October 12th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
3 words BRING BACK GRUDEN
October 12th, 2014 at 4:49 pm
Gruden is the one laughing the hardest!!
October 12th, 2014 at 5:02 pm
Two coaches better be addressed this week immediately
Leslie Frasier-defense
George Warhop-Offense line
Lovie can no longer brush off such terrible schemes by both of these guys.
October 12th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
I am sick of this atrocious piss poor team!!
October 12th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
totally agree Billy
October 12th, 2014 at 5:17 pm
Buc4lyfe,
I didn’t watch live either. After watching the DVR, Glennon should have gotten rid of 3-4 balls while dropped back, the other times he had no time and was being mugged.
PassD and OLine were TERRIBLE.
October 12th, 2014 at 6:47 pm
Been saying it we are going to have to draft our way out of this mess. Sorta miss Schinno.
October 13th, 2014 at 3:34 am
Lovey and Frazer has to go. Bet Glazers have Lovey in office and on the carpet by 8[30 am.
October 13th, 2014 at 4:21 am
Thank God we fired Gruden
